Robert Lifton constructs these case histories through personal interviews and outlines a thematic pattern of death and rebirth, accompanied by feelings of guilt, that characterizes the process of ""thought reform."" In a new preface, Lifton addresses the implications of his model for the study of American religious cults.BrainwashingChinaCommunismChinaTotalitarianismChinaChinaHistory20th centuryBrainwashingCommunismTotalitarianism153.8/53/0951Lifton Robert Jay1926-1564777MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781583703321Thought reform and the psychology of totalism3834027UNINA
